zstdgrep(1) -- print lines matching a pattern in zstandard-compressed files ============================================================================ SYNOPSIS -------- `zstdgrep` [*grep-flags*] [--] _pattern_ [_files_ ...] DESCRIPTION ----------- `zstdgrep` runs `grep (1)` on files, or `stdin` if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with `zstdcat (1)`. The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to `grep (1)`. If an `-e` flag is found in the `grep-flags`, `zstdgrep` will not look for a pattern argument. Note that modern `grep` alternatives such as `ripgrep` (`rg`) support `zstd`-compressed files out of the box, and can prove better alternatives than `zstdgrep` notably for unsupported complex pattern searches. Note though that such alternatives may also feature some minor command line differences. EXIT STATUS ----------- In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
